    What elite status benefit have you never been able to actually use?

    As a QF WP for several years, I've never had a classic reward seat released on request. Ever. Either international or domestic, and I only request one seat and not during school holidays and there is I class available. I've never used extra baggage allowance as I don't take extra baggage...

    Qantas Business Class meals & menus

    So economy passengers were served business class drinks before business class passengers? Hmmm.

    Qantas double charges customer for $40,000 - then adds insult to injury

    "Although Ms Johnson is no longer out of pocket for the double-debit payments, she believes she is entitled to lifetime Gold Status in Qantas’ Frequent Flyer Program." hahaaaahahaaaa <wipes tear> Good lord, entitled to lifetime Gold? If she had asked for one year it may have been reasonable but...

    'Scheduled System Outage' all weekend

    Qantas isn't better and they haven't had an upgrade. Apparently I am still in the air ... that's a long time on a Dash8!

    Qantas wins Shonky Award ... again

    Award Winner for its controversial flight credits scheme, months of lost luggage, long call wait times and cancelled flights. Choice chief executive Alan Kirkland said Qantas appeared to have gone deliberately out of its way to earn the award. "Qantas might call itself the Spirit of Australia...

    Spice bar at Melbourne Qantas Domestic Business Lounge

    Enjoyed the pork but no chili was added by default. Visited the condiments section:) Mel J is definitely a cut above Syd for food, the latter still hasn't brought back the juicer at breakfast :( Interesting addition to the toasted sandwich options here at Mel ... now can do toasted wraps!

    Mixing Qantas Voucher and FF Points

    The upgrade is a request, not a guarantee, and unless you have any status with Qantas there is a good chance you won't get an upgrade. If you want to use both voucher and points to ensure you fly a premium cabin (at least on the longest legs) I would suggest looking at business class reward...

    Points Variation

    There are notable differences between the two fare types. For a regular fare where you pay for it in points instead of cash, you receive frequent flyer points and status credits just like the cash fare in that category. For a Classic Reward - with the ribbon icon in the top right - you don't...

    Difference in Economy Classic Reward pricing

    Qantas extends status extensions until end June 2023 (previously December 2022)

    I had my rollover about 8 weeks after membership year ended. Unless you really need the credits early in your membership year, spare yourself the hassle of calls for the immediate future.

    Famous people seen (or even met) whilst flying or lounging

    Barry from the Living Room was in the MEL J dom lounge around 10am. The lady making gorgeous coffee remarked that "she'd had a Chris and Miguel but not Barry yet" and that Miguel had been 'remarkable'. :) Amanda was mentioned in passing as a dapper lass

    Virgin Australia Discover Gold (Status Match)

    Sent my application last Tuesday and received a rejected application at 2pm today. Did not say why rejected, just that it may be one or more of things in a fairly long list. Since it is the last day I forwarded that email to the promotion email addressing each of the criteria directly. I also...

    Qantas First Lounge in Singapore

    I think the QR lounge is in another terminal to QF's at SIN so if you have a short layover you may not have time to visit it.

    Holidays and Airport 'Chaos' since COVID

    You have to collect bag Fri and check it in on Sat. SYD does not allow through check for next day departures, something like no storage facility when airport is closed over night IIRC
